I love trying to capture life with words.  The most significant word in my previous sentence is “life.”  Life is so broad and amazing, we could spend our whole lives discussing it.  But we must remember to live it, as well.

"Pass the salt please?" I asked, not realizing the salt was already on my side of the table. "How am I supposed to do that?" she asked back, with genuine confusion in her voice? Another unthought-out, nervous, mess of a date was already started, and it wasn't going favorably for me since she arrived at the reastaraunt. The hostess let me choose the table, and I picked the first one I saw; the large table underneath the flickering light bulb. You would have thought the two...

The darkness. The darkness. The darkness!! Come and light up my soul.   No, the darkness. The darkness. The darkness! Drag me put of this pit!   Away from me, the darkness. the darkness. the darkness! Wash me white like the snow!   Begone, the darkness. The darkness. The darkness! Where have all the shadows gone?

I could feel the warmth of the sun just by looking out the window.  I had to go outside and enjoy the perfect weather.  I put on my ballcap and went out the front door.  I started for a walk, and within three minutes I saw my neighbor walking her tiny poodle.  "Hello, Mrs. Henson," I said politely as I kept walking.  I definately heard her say "hello" back, but I remember taking a look back as I was almost sure I heard her poodle utter a "hell...

You cannot judge a book by its cover Or the first ten pages, for that matter While you were searching for a lover You forgot what mattered Its true you have been to more classrooms And have seen more of the world But I'm about to blossom soon And take the world by storm Ego is rarely a person's friend But you've made it your spouse If we tried love again Your approval I would always doubt I pray that your eyes become open Because I know the truth That when you judge what matters in a human Re...

Maybe I need to read it a few more times, very slowly. But after my first read, it didn't leave me feeling too good. Poop is a difficult subject to write about and not leave the reader feeling violated, and I cannot say you've mastered that trick. You shouldn't use the expression of snacks too close to your sentence about poop, it puts bad thoughts in reader's head. I think what you were trying to go for was a parallel to discomfort of struggling with a poop and the struggle we go through in ...
I like this poem because it has a lot of atmosphere to it. As I read it I instantly imagines HWY12 in my own life, and my own car. It took me to a place I knew. I also like this poem because its one that I could actually study. Meaning I could look at it for a long period of time and not hate it, but rather think of its meaning from many different angles. For example, I can't decide if it ends in a car crash "into the darkness" or if the two just keep driving "into the darkness" with no end i...
Flash Fiction / The New American Way
I do enjoy fiction with a message, and this is no exception. The story never tempted me to lose interest, thanks to good writing and an interesting story/concept. I do not have any criticisms for the writing/grammar/punctuation etc. That is all very well-done. And I like the moral of the story, American has changed. As a result, everything is now a bit more ridiculous.
Poetry / Autumn
Ahh, this type of poem is refreshing. You don't realize it until you read a poem about love, but rare they seem to be. There is a lot of subtle romance in here, which is the way it needs to be. Sappy poems lose the reader quickly, and are not taken that seriously. I was able to read this with an inward smirk, because it made me feel good. I could relate to the content, which is another plus. I have no criticisms or corrections, you have written something really good.
